UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ROBT. WILSON, OF MILTON, PENNSYLVANIA.

FLY-NET.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 20,235, dated May 11, 1858i.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT IVlLsoN, of Wilton, Northumberland county,and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Mode ofMaking the Flank and Neck Pieces of Leather Fly-Nets, and do herebydeclare that the following is a full and exact description thereof,reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I willproceed to describe its particular construction.

I construct my flank and neck pieces of leather fly nets in the usualform, as regards the number of ribs and lashes I confine myself toneither. I punch the holes in the ribs in one row, instead of two. IVhenthe lashes are drawn in they form a stitch parallel to the rib also tworight angles to every stitch in the rib instead of passing straightthrough the rib. See drawings.

A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, are lashes.

B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, are the right angles formed by the lashes; C, C,C, C, C, C, C, holes punched in the ribs.

D, D, D, D, are the ribs. lst, the ribs can he made much lighter and yethave the lashes more securely fastened in the ribs, than when the stitchis made as usual at a right angle to the rib, for two rows of holesrequires a greater width of rib than one row. Q, they take the place ofnets made with the ribs sewed together and rounded like a bridle reinwhich gives a great deal more work and yet not so neat nor so good, asregards the lashes being fastened in the ribs for they have only beendrawn straight through one hole therefore they easily slip and get outof shape.

I do not claim rounded ribs nor rounded ashes nor any particular numberof either IVhat I do claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent isiThepeculiar construction of the fly net, having the stitch set parallelwith the rib, combined with the two right angles, formed by the lashesin passing through the rib, whether ribs are made at. round or any othershape, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

ROBERT VILSON.
